Yet another Clean Cafe...

How was dinner last night, Andi?

by CabinGirl on Wed Jul 16th, 2008 at 06:21:44 AM EST

You are just so good at taking hints :) (4.00 / 5)

Dinner was fantastic -- the food was great and the company was even better.

Re: You are just so good at taking hints :) (4.00 / 5)

Heh. I was just too tired to do it last night when I was thinking of it. Plus, we needed a new picture.

Glad you had a good time. Are you almost done with the BCROD today?

Re: You are just so good at taking hints :) (4.00 / 5)

I'm here until about noon tomorrow. This BCROD isn't so bad -- it has windows with a splendid view of the parking lot. :)

When do you leave for Austin?

Re: You are just so good at taking hints :) (4.00 / 5)

Windows make all the difference, do they? :)

I leave around noon tomorrow. Have a lot to do between now and then...both boys have to be at the orthodontist in an hour, algebra, laundry, pack, take someone to the airport today, write and abstract before lunchtime...why is going away always so much work?

.why is going away always so much work?

I know what you mean. The mister is moving out today and it's been a lot of work for me not to clobber him. Hopefully it gets easier from here, at least emotionally.

Morning everyone! :)

Good Morning (4.00 / 5)

I hope it turns out, very soon, that mazel tovs will be in order.

So have you made plans for what you want to do with all the newly opened space? ;)

*snort*

I hope the move out and the day goes fast.

And now I've get to get moving myself.

Later.

With incense, lots of incense...

I hope everything goes smoothly and you're enjoying some peace and serenity by dinnertime tonight.

Re: Good Morning (4.00 / 6)

thanks, CG. I think it's going to be a 24 hour moving out process...but after that I've got the peace thing on the menu.

Re: Good Morning (4.00 / 5)

I imagine it will be quite a relief when the move-out is over. Do you have some treat for yourself planned?

Re: Good Morning (4.00 / 6)

I am treating myself to something Cajun tomorrow...

And the kids are all leaving for Ecuador on Saturday so I'll have two weeks to get some projects done. I guess I'll clean out his room and turn it into a guest room. And I bought a cool old buffet at goodwill that I'm going to redo. And of course, Hopey and Frank the Schnoodle will keep me company.

Re: Good Morning (4.00 / 5)

Sounds good to me. Got pictures of your Goodwill score?

And what paint colors do you have in mind for your new guest room? :)

Re: You are just so good at taking hints :) (4.00 / 6)

Okay, I'm officially tired just from reading your list.

Re: You are just so good at taking hints :) (4.00 / 7)

Well, my list just got shorter...the orthodontist called a bit ago and said they won't have the new retainer until tomorrow morning.

Which will make tomorrow morning insane. I may have to pack tonight.

Hay, CG, wish that someone going to the airport a good time for me.

I will. I wish you were coming this year. We need your snark.

Maybe next year?
